General
No, it is currently not possible to carry a Leatherman tool in hand luggage. However, you can take it with you in the checked luggage. Ultimately, however, in any case, it is up to the employees of the respective airline what you can or cannot take on board. It is best to find out which items can be carried in hand baggage and checked baggage on the airline's website before you travel. The international regulations can vary. We would also like to point out that the Leatherman Tool Group does not accept any liability for tools that have been lost, stolen or confiscated.
Our tools bear the name of our founder, Tim Leatherman, who invented the original Pocket Survival Tool, now known as the PST®.

Use a separate screwdriver or similar device to unlock the blades. With the handles closed together, insert the screwdriver into the slot created by the handle spring (where the handle locks onto the tool blades). Gently pry up the handle spring until one of the blades can be released.
Black oxide is a "conversion coating", which means it changes the surface of the product, rather than covering the product, as paint would. Black oxide is formed by oxidizing the outer layer of atoms on the surface. In effect, it's controlled rust. When you first use the product, the black substance is this outer layer. It will wear away to some extent, but that's the nature of this finish. To avoid the stains, simply take a rag with CRC 3-36 (or similar oil) and rub the tool surfaces thoroughly. The oil will set the finish and allow it to last longer. This is what your skin oils are actually doing when you handle the tool.
To start a warranty claim, please contact the authorized Leatherman distributor for your country.
Our products are designed to be disassembled by factory-trained technicians only. Repaired tools are reassembled (and the pivot posts cemented) to ensure proper tension for optimum tool performance. Attempting to disassemble a Leatherman tool yourself may result in lost components and compromised tool functionality. It may also void your warranty protection.
